Roasted Brussels Sprouts with a Garlic Parmesan Dip

December 23, 2016

This year Maria is spending Christmas with Lou’s family, and I am heading home to MA to spend the holidays with my parents. Let’s just say I’m the favorite child this year. 😉

A variety of vegetable based dishes are always a staple at our house, and the holidays are no exception. Instead of our usual roasted veggie melody, this year I decided to try a brussels sprouts and dip recipe for my mom to add to her list (Vera, I hope you’re reading). This dish can be served as an appetizer (I know, we would have brussels sprouts as an appetizer) or with the main meal. This dip is also lightened up big time with the use of greek yogurt instead of mayo or sour cream.

Wishing everyone a healthy and happy holiday!
